South Africa vs Bangladesh Cricket World Cup 2023: Expected lineups, head-to-head, toss, predictions and betting odds
South Africa are all set to face Bangladesh in the 23rd Match of the ODI World Cup 2023 on Tuesday, October 24 at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium.
The Proteas recently demolished England, registering a win of 229 runs while defending a score of 400. With that victory, they moved to third spot on the points table, having played 4 matches and winning 3 of those.
South Africa will look to gain another two points, but it is still unknown whether Aiden Markram will lead the side again or if Temba Bavuma, who missed the clash due to a sickness, will make a return and fulfill the leadership role.
On the other hand, Bangladesh are currently placed sixth on the table, having won only one match out of four. It is likely that Shakib Al Hasan will make a return to the playing XI as the captain as he skipped the match versus India at Pune due to an injury. It will be a do-or-die contest for Bangladesh as they have to win all of their remaining matches in the tournament to make their way to the semi-finals.

South Africa vs Bangladesh: Prediction for CWC 2023 match
South Africa are the hot favourites as in the last match they scored a humongous total of 399 runs while batting first in humid conditions, and that was against the defending champions England at the same venue. Surely, they will know more about the pitch conditions and ground dimensions.
But one can't rule out the Bangladeshi side. They have not done well in the tournament so far, but are capable of beating any opposition on a given day.
However, the kind the form South African batters are enjoying, they look threatening enough to tonk another big score at the Wankhede Stadium and beat Bangladesh easily.
